Hey Mom,
Things are going really well here. This area is an arid climate like Utah just no snow at all. The record low temperature here is like fifty degrees. Here is a very agricultural area so there are a lot of farm boys. The ward is very good. They are the most reverent people i have yet seen here in Bahia. Which is actually saying a lot. My companion is great. He will be the next Assistant. He just doesnt know it. He is a really good worker.
I have been getting a little homesick as well. Everybody asks me how much time i have left. Even people on the street that i talk to. It is like the Devil is trying to get me trunky.
The Elder that has a short fuse we have really worked with and he actually really likes all the people in the house. He really is a good missionary and has a really big heart. He is just super sensitive. He takes meds for his anger issues. We have really worked with him to improve his techniques and working abilities and so far they have baptized two weeks in a row and look like they will get another one this week. We unfortunately have not had this success. We have many people that are so close and just need to take the step. We are constantly trying to find new people yet are not able to find them.
Please pray that we can find more men in Santa Barbara. We have a group there and really need men to make it a branch. Also pray for Juarez to accept the Gospel and be baptized. He is the one that has the house that we use for meetings on sunday. His wife is baptized and his daughter too. He knows the church is true ,we think, yet is to proud to humble himself and ask God. He is a really good man. He just needs to accept the fullness and not content himself with a part truth.
You know what is funny? Wrestleing was the only sport that i really loved. It was such a challenge that made me push myself. That and i was in charge and did not depend on others for success. I really regret not continuing it. That is just a difference in opionion however.
Well any way I really love you mom. Have a good week :)
